REAL LIFE: Fan Builds Functional IRON MAN Gauntlets

While they don't quite shoot the same sort of repulsor rays we're used to seeing in the Iron Man comic books and movies, a firm that specialises in building props such as this one has created working gauntlets that pack enough of a punch to burst balloons!

Created by the super talented Patrick Priebe, what you see in the video below really is a working Iron Man gauntlet. It may only have enough firepower to take down a balloon, but if this is what someone who builds props can create, who knows what the military are coming up with right now? More details on Patrick's work can be found by heading on over to Laser-Gadgets.

I have a picture some from E3 that I took with a welder that created a precise replica War Machine, that opened and closed to suit in and out.

Tony Stak was able to build that in his bathroom while brushing his teeth (maybe trimming his goatee)

JDUKE25 - 1/21/2013, 10:50 AM
It's alright. That thing popping up and down every 3 seconds was annoying though.
Optimus83 - 1/21/2013, 10:57 AM

Giznad - 1/21/2013, 11:02 AM

superotherside - 1/21/2013, 11:23 AM
Cool, but does it blow up things further away and like if you shot a car would it blow up? These are questions I want answered! :P
DaddyTuesday - 1/21/2013, 11:27 AM
That is so cool. It's like watching the first step into have actual comic book style weapons.
BruceWayneNewton - 1/21/2013, 11:33 AM

@cipher - making it out of yuengling cans? don't get urself down anything with yuengling stamped on it is bound to be good. Speaking of which, I can't find it anywhere out west....not Texas....not Cali...not Utah...ugh starting to miss my east coast beer.
TheFascinatingMan - 1/21/2013, 11:50 AM
Wow
Ancar - 1/21/2013, 11:50 AM

Now that's bad ass!
TheRedSkull - 1/21/2013, 12:17 PM
I knew it was only matter of time before technology would catch up with movies. This is sweet as
jimpeachey - 1/21/2013, 12:18 PM

THEDARKKNIGHT1939 - 1/21/2013, 12:19 PM
Dope
JredTheRed - 1/21/2013, 12:31 PM
@cipher ... this one?

Nomadic1 - 1/21/2013, 12:33 PM
On youtube it says he sold it for $2200. Not sure if it's worth that, but it's cool.
DioFoRio - 1/21/2013, 12:33 PM
got bored..does it do anything cool?

@yoss..thanks for curing my boredom.
fettastic - 1/21/2013, 12:33 PM
Well if I ever need a balloon popped...........
valeriesghost - 1/21/2013, 12:53 PM
GRIF! Welcome back bud!
NorseGod - 1/21/2013, 1:07 PM
Let me know when he can saw a car in half.

Just kidding, that's pretty cool!
HarrisonBergeron - 1/21/2013, 1:41 PM
It's cool, but the "capabilities" in the vid would be really easy to fake.

Even if it is real, the science FICTION of Iron Man is the power source. All of the tech to make the full armor exists, its the tiny power source that never runs out that has yet to be developed.
TheTank - 1/21/2013, 1:59 PM
The actual gauntlet is impressive being someone built the mechanics at home, but all they did for the laser is heist a blue ray diode. I used to have blue laser from Wicked Lasers and you could pop balloons and burn holes in things you kept it steady on an object for like a day lol.
MrHulkSmashin - 1/21/2013, 2:16 PM
My brother built a better one, doesn't have an exoskeleton, but it can bore a hole through a wall in a matter of seconds. Or set it on fire. Just depends.
thefirstavenger97 - 1/21/2013, 2:28 PM
yea Grif changed his name back!
jessepostal - 1/21/2013, 2:34 PM
I live about an hour away from where the yuengling brewery in Pottsville PA is. Town smells terrible and the lager tastes completely different. Never drink it in Pottsville, it's disgusting
TheAmazingChrisReeve63 - 1/21/2013, 2:35 PM
D@MN! Yoss is in the house with his unrivaled randomness AND classy, classy T&As....@yoss, sir, God bless ya, brah! ;D


Stay EPIC, my friends!!
LAXtremest - 1/21/2013, 3:11 PM
Pretty decent tech... Your cycles per second were a little low... You coulda doubled up your rotations... Refocused the repulsor energy through ionized plasma channels... It's effective, not very efficient. It's a passible knock off.

"you'll shoot yer eye out"
SpideySam - 1/21/2013, 4:29 PM
Or has it....?

KeefNCookies - 1/22/2013, 5:49 AM
You people are pathetic with your chick pics.
MarvelSquadie - 1/22/2013, 7:31 AM
that's awesome!! i wonder if he can light a candle with it??????

What is the military working on now? Here is a picture of the U.S. Navy test firing its railgun.



The railgun doesn't fire like a normal gun, it uses magnets. The plume of fire that you see isn't due to propellant. The projectile contains so much energy after launch that the air around it sets on fire.
